However, auto-jump (where the highlighted song updates as the currently playing song changes) only works in Playlists mode for List view. An improvement from 11.0.0, where it wouldn't jump at all. But for Grid and Artist List views, auto-jump still does not work. This is a shame because I really have come to like Grid view for my standard interface, but it's useless in Playlists mode if it doesn't update.

It seems like the mini-mode is less glitchy. The popup menus there were would flicker and such before; that seems to be fixed. I also haven't had the mini-mode rollover buttons get stuck in the 'on' position yet either.

So overall, they cleared out a lot of UI bugs, but left some annoying functionality bugs to hopefully get fixed in a future release.

I think i encountered a good bug after updating to version 11. My iTunes Match supposedly ran out a year after it started, yet, it has not stopped working on any of my devices. Whenever i add a song to my iTunes, it still gets uploaded to the cloud and i can play it on my phone or Apple tv.

Might just be me or i could be wrong.

Just checked my iTunes account and it does say that my iTunes match is expired. Not even going to complain since it still works!

Who gives a toss about bugs, iTunes 11 is at best a crap update, I mean year on year the multimedia concept grows with the average person not just collecting MP3's but movies, apps , podcasts as well as music, yet it's like navigating a stone henge archaic program!! bugger me how bloody blind minded must you be to realise people have movie collections, app collections & music collections, its the most unintuitive worst GUI designed apps ever!
Apple are about revolution and evolution not just plain minimal changes!

Since updating to the new iTunes and new AppleTV software, the only issue I'm having is that on the AppleTV the music from iTunes Match refuses to display the album covers. It displays the covers for the exact same albums under 'computers' but not under iTunes Match. I even tried deleting some albums from the cloud, deleting the album cover in iTunes, getting iTunes to source the cover again for me and then re-uploading it to iTunes Match and they're still all blank on the ATV.

It used to display the covers before the update, very quickly, and it's not a loading issue as I've left it on for hours and still not one of them gets loaded or appears. I've also done a speed test on the router it's hard-wired into and, on 100Mb/s broadband it's currently registering a quite staggering 103Mb/s for DLs.

Anyone else having this issue..?

they needed an extra couple of months or so "to get it right", and they had to go to 11.0.1 to speed up searching?

I am not buying it one single bit.

Wasn't Apple originally delaying iTunes 11 till December ? Maybe they should have, and used that time to "fix" searches and add these to version 11, then there wouldn't NEED to be a 11.0.1 soo quickly.
